That's why there's a really good book I think about Nam Gerson called the second brain and it's this whole deep scientific look at the gut brain connection.
Why people recommend it
The Second Brain by Michael Gershon is a scientific exploration of the enteric nervous system and the complex communication pathways between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. During The Joe Rogan Experience episode #646, broadcast on May 11, 2015, Dr. Dan Engle appeared alongside Aubrey Marcus and recommended the book to the audience. Dr. Engle highlighted Gershon's work as a particularly strong resource that provides a deep scientific look at the gut-brain connection, explaining the physiological mechanisms that govern how our digestive system influences our overall health and mental state. The discussion touched upon the growing medical understanding that the gut functions with a degree of autonomy and emotional sensitivity previously unappreciated by mainstream medicine. Readers interested in neuroscience, holistic health, and the biological underpinnings of somatic sensations frequently consult this text to understand the intricate network of neurons lining the walls of the human digestive tract and their profound impact on human behavior.
